We are lucky to have so many amazing community partners who support our students! This week, Brandon Oaks Life Plan Community and Virginia Tech Cornerstone Alumni collaborated to hold a Back to School Supply Drive, filling an entire bus with school supplies donated by their residents, staff, and Hokie alumni. They also provided RCPS with an $800 check, all of which will directly support our students in starting the school year off right. Even Hank the Therapy Dog got involved! Thank you to the Brandon Oaks and Virginia Tech communities for supporting our students! Interested in donating? Join us next weekend at area Walmarts for our annual Load the Bus event, where we'll be collecting even more school supplies. #WeAreOne

ICYMI: 50 of our rising 8th graders have been participating in Community Builders this summer, a pilot program designed to help students discover their career interests and learn how to better their community. The cohort will also continue to meet throughout the school year! This would not be possible without our many community, business, and higher education partners, and Del. Sam Rasoul, who championed this legislation and the General Assembly. "They stay safe by staying connected. And when they’re connected to those things that are productive, connected to those things that are constructive... then they are less likely to engage in problematic behaviors or even dangerous behaviors.” - Verletta White, Ed.D. https://lnkd.in/eeANHxus
